Ridgid reinvents the drill

The new Ridgid 18V Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver with AutoShift helps increase productivity by automatically shifting into lower gear on the fly. AutoShift makes drilling and driving easier and faster because you don't have to choose which speed to use. The drill does the work for you.

Here's how it works. The drill always starts in high speed. The speed indicator lights up. The drill downshifts automatically when it sense a high torque application. The power indicator lights up. When the application is complete, the drill resets to high speed.

The tool (Model R86014) comes complete with a compact 1.5 amp hour battery, a high capacity 3 amp hour battery for extended use, a charger, and Ridgidâ€™s Lifetime Service Agreement and lists for $299.
